Overview
It took a lot of cajoling to get Bob, a recently widowed architect, to go on a blind date at a quirky Irish-Italian eatery. Once there, he's smitten instantly not with his date but with the sharp-witted waitress. Everything seems to be going great until an unbelievable truth is revealed, one that could easily break both of their hearts for good.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Old-fashioned as all get-out, Return to Me is swathed in an unabashed feel-good tone.
So innocent, so naive, so sweet and sincere, that you must leave your cynicism at the door or choose another movie.
The film builds an implausible scenario into a credible and utterly charming romantic comedy.
First-time director Bonnie Hunt has taken what could have been an incredibly sappy story and used her sense of comedic timing to fashion a date flick that even the guys might enjoy.
